Abstract

ABSTRACT
Various studies have already been performed involving the whole aerial parts of Centella asiatica (L.) (Umbelliferae), commonly known as gotu kola or
jalbrahmi, and thus, the present investigation has been carried out for the phytochemical study of an ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of C. asiatica.
To perform this activity, the drug (1.5 kg) was exhaustively extracted in 95% ethanol using Soxhlet apparatus. The column chromatography was
performed then for isolating the various phytoconstituents using the solvents of increasing polarity from petroleum ether to methanol. The isolated
compounds were structurally elucidated using various spectral data analysis, i.e. infrared,1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),13C NMR, and positive
ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. One of the isolated compounds was characterized as n-heptacosanyl oleate.
Keywords: Whole aerial parts, Centella asiatica, Soxhlet, Column, Heptacosanyl oleate.
